Why Investing in an Expert Made It Hurt Less

During my snowboarding trip to Breckenridge, Colorado, I learned 3 lessons from my instructor, Eriche, that really stuck with me:

‍

1. Every tumble in the snow wasn’t just a fall—it was a lesson in resilience (and many bruises!). With every slip and slide, I learned to embrace the process rather than chase perfection. Progress wasn’t about rushing to the finish line but about steady, intentional improvements that built confidence and control.
   
2. Every adjustment Eriche suggested was clear and intuitive. Instead of overwhelming technical jargon, she broke things down into simple, actionable steps that helped me feel more in tune with my board. Working with someone who truly understood the nuances of technique allowed me to break through barriers I didn’t even know existed, making every run down the slope smoother and more controlled.
   
3. Investing in an amazing instructor didn’t just accelerate my learning—it helped me avoid picking up bad habits that could have slowed me down later. With expert guidance, I wasn’t left to figure things out through trial and error, but instead, I was able to build solid foundational skills right away.

Every run down the snowy mountain was a mix of physical and mental challenges. With each curve, I pushed myself a little further, learning to embrace the unexpected turns and the thrill of going faster than I thought I could. And of course, a little Advil came to the rescue during my recovery breaks, as I savored the stunning mountain views with a cozy cup of hot cocoa.
